But that's exactly the point!

Object-oriented means few different things: it could mean "my program contains 'class' keyword" to "Everything must be a class which obeys SOLID".

If you say general statement, like "OO in Python is mostly pointless", you are likely wrong. There are ways to use 'class' keyword to make programs better (shorter, more readable) and there are libraries out there which use OO this way.

If you want to write something which can be proven true, you want to have something much more specific. Here are some possible titles one can have meaningful discussion about:

"SOLID everywhere is not worth it"

"Don't use objects where a function will do"

"single responsibility is the key to usable OO"

and so on

I've noticed a trend where if a study has unpleasant conclusions the people trot out correlation does not imply causation. On the other hand, a study with a pleasant conclusion is taken as evidence for causation in a preferable direction. E.g. a study showing positive correlation between atheism and IQ scores is considered evidence that atheists are that way because they are smarter than most people.

It is a very interesting correlation, but guess I cannot infer causation in this case ;)
If a short position goes hard against you the brokerage will make you to put up more collateral (money) and if you can't, then your only other option is to buy back some of your position, so yeah, short sellers can be forced to buy back stock.

The 8th post on the homepage is this: https://patriots.win/p/11SK7JKMbx/guess-what-my-favorite-thi..., and the top comment is a list of racial slurs for Asian/Chinese people. There's a few other threads that include similar lists, as well as comments making fun of Asian/Chinese people in general.

I saw a few slurs for gay people as well.

Amsterdam Tries "Doughnut Economics", An Economic Theory to Save the Environment
Hedge fund managers were shorting GameStop. Made sense as GameStop is a brick and mortar game cartridge seller living in a digital download world. But they went too far. After shorting GameStop to death, they didn't stop. They kept piling on desecrating the GameStop's dead body with even more shorts for the lol's and last few drops of profit.

Then a thin line of lone autistic redditors came to the defense of their beloved GameStop. And starting buying shares. Autists everywhere joined the line, phalanx formation. They are holding the line against billionaires and media smears. Whatever the outcome they will be immortalized in history.

> “Compared to non-users, regular cannabis users were more likely to engage in high-risk alcohol consumption, smoke tobacco, use other illicit drugs and not be in a relationship at age 35,” Dr Chan said.
[...] They were also at higher risk of depression and less likely to have a paid job.

> “Overall, regular use of cannabis [...] was found to have harmful consequences, regardless of the age people began using it.”

I am skeptical that this study is actually representative of the effects of cannabis, and does not instead depend on other, highly correlated effects, which are then presented as the reason. From my general (non-user) perspective, I would assume that there is probably a bias towards groups of people who have a higher chance to use substances in general, or live in a comparatively poor environment.

For example: Children of smokers often become smokers themselves (as numerous credible studies show). If they now start with cannabis, they would be included as the victims of cannabis in the discussed study. However, the causality is probably reversed here.
I used to think this too. And I have to admit OO does lend itself well to GUI and hierarchical structures (IMO probably the only case I think it is actually useful). But that's not to say that there aren't declarative methods that are equally nice to use, Elm has done a lot to popularize this style of coding GUIs.

example in Haskell, https://owickstrom.github.io/gi-gtk-declarative/app-simple/
or even take a look at yew in Rust which is also elm-style, https://github.com/yewstack/yew/blob/master/examples/counter...
Yup, when people are no longer spewing racism and homophobia, it will be a relief to have something else to be mad about.

Are you suggesting we shouldn't be mad about it now?
> If you set it up to sell when the prices drops to $320, you are guaranteed that it will sell at a price below $320, not that it will sell at $320.

IIRC, that’s closer than the naive interpretation (“you will sell at exactly $320 if the price drops to or below that level”), but it's still not quite right. Unless I'm mistaken, a stop-loss @ $320 is actually “if the price is at or below $320, submit a market sell order”. In theory, it could execute above $320, though at or below is vastly more likely. And, as you note, you aren't guaranteed it will execute at all.

Yeah, there are quite a lot of evidence hinting at cannabis being bad for you long term, especially when used as a kid. Doesn't mean it should be illegal, but just like with alcohol or smoking it almost surely isn't good for you and trying to ignore that doesn't do you any good.

We wont know for sure until this bigger study is done, but if you care about your brain you probably should stop with cannabis until we know its safe:

The A-10 is not such an easy kill.

2. The typical little missile just isn't going to do much damage. The A-10 is a twin-engine aircraft with some armor around the engines. There is even a bit of extra fuel kept there, in case the fuel line is cut.

"Mention the name AOC favorably, and you will be shut down."

No, this is not remotely true. They'll downvote you into obvlivion on 'Fox News' comments - but this is not cancel culture.

Nobody is 'losing their job' and being 'publicly shamed' because they said the 'like AOC'.

Sure - you might get a few Trumpers in your face for supporting one of the more perceptibly radical faces of the Demcorcatic party - but that's just 'angry culture' - not cancel culture.

" Parler censored people for supporting BLM."

I strongly doubt this is true - even if it is - again, this is not 'cancel culture' - this is just bad groupthink on a site.

If executives and staff were being fired and losing their jobs for showing up at a BLM rally, or donating money to BLM - that would be 'cancel culture' - but I don't believe that is happening.

This is the exact thing I have been trying to convince people of since this began. It started with a kernel of truth and a case to be made for a potential short squeeze but at some point along the way transitioned from a squeeze to a bubble with more and more chasing gains out of fomo and some ridiculous concocted story about the little guy vs the big bad Wall Street. This is further evident from the spillover effect seen in amc, Nokia, and many others.

All that said you do need to understand that if your impulse is to short or buy puts you’re almost certainly early as bubbles always go much further than anyone thinks possible and the extraordinary IV of the options makes it very difficult to profit from.
> By that logic all state in any program is global.

All state in any program is global in the sense of being reachable from top-level. You can, and should, make your state hierarchical - reachable from top-level should not mean reachable from anywhere, you can have (non-toplevel) parts of your program that only access parts of your state. Unfortunately OO is uniquely bad at this, because objects are encouraged to have hidden coupling.

> But if I'm writing an MMO server my GoldCoin class doesn't need to know about the client's connection state.

But you have no way of knowing or enforcing that. "You wanted a banana but what you got was a gorilla holding the banana and the entire jungle" - your GoldCoin might contain a ("encapsulated" i.e. hidden) reference to another class that has a reference to another class and so on, and so eventually it does depend on the client's connection state.

> Have you actually written or worked with OO code before?

Yes, for many years, which is why I've become an advocate of FP style instead.
The Great Free Speech Reversal
Well, I am a dual US|EU citizen, currently living in Croatia. So, I do travel abroad a lot.

When I lived in the US, I had an individual plan through Costco (Delta Dental) that was quite a good deal. It was a Dental HMO plan, though. Really, the only thing I noticed that it did not cover was implants. However, Costco only offers it in a handful of states: https://www.costco.com/dental-insurance-services.html

Alternatively, you can get an individual dental plan through Delta Dental Plan in any state here: https://www1.deltadentalins.com/individuals.html

In both cases above, if you get the Dental HMO, it has no annual or lifetime maximum dollar limits, no waiting periods, or pre-existing condition clauses.

Anyways, I used my American dental insurance to get cleanings, X-Rays, and fillings. I go to Europe a couple times a year at minimum anyways, so I use that to my advantage by getting more advanced dental care there.

Dental implants, especially Swiss implants, can be 8 times cheaper than what some dentists charge in the US. A Swiss implant, when all said and done, costs about $1000 USD in the more eastern EU countries.

You may want to check out this website: https://www.whatclinic.com/dentists/worldwide

I would stick to European Union countries, as the quality of materials is very high. There is some website like the link I posted above, that has implant success rates posted, by dentist. I just do not remember the website's name. Anyways, you take your time and do extensive research before you choose your dentist.

Anyways, I have a very rare immune-mediated disease affecting my autonomic nervous system, which affects salivation, so my teeth are totally jacked up, even though they look really nice. I also have type 1 diabetes, and it makes my teeth naturally more prone to infections. So, cost-wise, I am screwed when it comes to dental care. I know somebody with the rare disease I have, that has about 20 implants in her mouth.

But, if your teeth are really jacked up, and especially if you need implants (of course it is better than dentures), it is way cheaper to go to European Union countries. This is even for 1 implant. If you may need thousands of dollars in dental care, you may be better off going to the European Union to get that care.
This is neat, but I really enjoyed reading the author's post-mortem on their (very cool sounding) audio game soundStrider, https://shiftbacktick.io/devlog/2020/07/25/soundstrider-post...
I know this has been discussed elsewhere, and it's kind of against the narrative, but my understanding is that typically if you're shorting like this, you would hedge your potential losses by buying calls. Ie, if you short at $20/share, and want to limit to 100% losses (excluding premium), you could buy calls at $40. If the price skyrocketed past here, you have the calls.

There is obviously much more complex math to optimize this.

I'm not entirely sure that I believe the story that a large fund like this didn't have some sort of protections in place (even if the WSB community couldn't find them).

It's also possible that they did have protection in place, but instead of using it to exit their position earlier chose to sell the protection for a quick gain (thinking that the price was going to drop again after the first jump).
At this point, no broker is lending gme to retail investors. However, if you are market maker, you should be able to short it still.

The problem is not using a GPL software internally, but using it in a product that you'd want to sell and at this point be forced to opensource your entire product.
Despite what some people like to pretend there's basically no scalable business model outside of SaaS that will make you any money selling GPL-licensed software so this situation is extremely undesireable.

That's just a cheap way to bet on the trade being played out by then: buy some deeply out of the money puts with a relatively low premium today (the further out of the money, the lower the premium... so you can afford to buy more) with the expectation that they'll be deeply in the money in a few weeks. Works a treat... as long as you're not wrong on direction, magnitude or timing.

I didn't say people who ace math exams are geniuses, just that maths makes it very clear that talent is a huge factor for success in the field. So it isn't that STEM students were all told by their parents that they are intelligent and therefore believe that genius is about talent, it is that it is pretty hard to study STEM without noticing the huge difference in talent between people in the field.
Fewer users, they are countable
Does anyone else feel like you're at a weird in between with intelligence?

I have been developer for 15 years, and have probably put in over 15-20K hours of very heavy learning. I've produced well over 100 projects, and have had some very huge wins. I have an absurd work ethic.

In my small peer group, people constantly talk about "youre smartest person I know" and this makes me somewhat cringe on the inside, because in my mind.. the people who _I_ consider are actual geniuses, who have such an insane otherworldly level of learning ability, math ability, talent, programming ability (ie like John Carmack).

So, I constantly am called smart, smartest, etc, yet in my own head I often feel incredibly dumb because of the people who I look up to, and don't even remotely hold a candle to. It feels like being stuck in a sort of no man's land... where I have enough IQ to realize how little IQ I have.

I always feel like certain subjects often lie JUST outside my mental grasp and I must spend considerable effort to visualize it before I can understand it. For example, I'm starting to build an algorithm for trading and it involves bayesian statistics, and calculus, linear algebra, with a dash of machine learning. All things which have long been forgotten. I spent about 60-70 hours over a few days re-learning a lot, and making huge strides in understanding, feeling pretty good I just got such a huge chunk of learning done quickly, and then I go on youtube videos of math geniuses who probably accomplished what I did effortlessly in the blink of an eye.

I suppose I have no other question, other than does anyone else feel like this? It really kind of sucks, as I do highly value intelligence, and it would be different if I weren't 1/4 or 1/2 of the way there.
Cops Disrupt Emotet, the Internet's ‘Most Dangerous Malware’
If you apply to jobs where the stack advertised looks like it's from a decade or more ago, you might have to actually deal with technology from two to three decades ago (or not, but it's probably more likely). People like new things, and often switch jobs looking for something new, and in tech that's often new technology they've played with but not got a chance to use in production.

Honestly, something that's advertised as ruby/python and HTML will probably put a lot of devs off that used to happily do that all day, and so a company might have to pay higher for good talent, or put up with worse talent applying for the same salary.

You might actually be worth more not knowing react. Communicating that to prospective employers might be hard though.

In other words, you can probably make really good money slinging COBOL if you know it and can communicate your talent sufficiently for the same reason, but more extreme.

I think there's no such thing as free speech, and there never has been. Any forum worth reading has to be heavily moderated in some way. Things like scamming people and counterfeiting money are rightfully illegal. Any legitimate state is going to need to quell protests and hunt down political opposition, because at any reasonable population size you are guaranteed to have people who disagree enough with those in power to get violent and criminal about it. We saw this play out recently enough earlier this month on Inauguration Day.

Politics is hard, and absolutist ideas like completely unrestricted speech, a completely unrestricted economy, or complete privacy are at best lunacy, at worst downright impossible. I don't think I would want to live in a society where anyone could say anything whenever and wherever, where corporations were completely unregulated, or where law enforcement could never hope to gather evidence because of privacy restrictions. So I think tools and methods for restricting speech and privacy must exist, and they will fall into the wrong hands, but it's ultimately up to the public to collectively decide and enforce what is acceptable and what's not. It's an endless struggle that's been happening not since the birth of the Internet, but since people started living in groups.
